The Manor

 When the director was six his father bought “The Manor”, a small-town strip club. Thirty years later, the family's lifestyle has got the better of them. Shawney's role as a struggling filmmaker and outcast son provides a rare glimpse into a family facing the consequences of their livelihood and dependence. Told with humor and frankness, The Manor is an intimate portrait of people struggling to call themselves a family.
